U.S. Senator John Cornyn harshly denounced Bo French, the Republican hopeful for the Texas railroad commission. Cornyn's criticism focused on a social media post that French made. That post directed toward Asian-American pupils at the University of Texas. Cornyn called the post as racist and intolerant. French is campaigning for a seat on the railroad commission, a government oversight agency. Cornyn's statement is part of the continued scrutiny on French's online behavior. That attention has been growing for a while.
